Product Highlights

The health benefits of chocolate come from a variety of constituents, all of which are retained in Chocamine®:

  • theobromine (standardized)
  • amino acids
  • nutritious minerals
  • biogenic amines
  • anandamides
  • polyphenols.

Theobromine, the energizing compound found naturally in cocoa, offers a nourishing energy boost that is more sustained than the crash-and-burn energy from caffeine. Both caffeine and theobromine are xanthine alkaloids, but the similarities end there.

  • Theobromine has a milder stimulant effect, resulting in jitter-free energy.
  • Theobromine has a longer half-life in the body, thereby providing longer-lasting. energy
  • Theobromine has been shown to have less of an effect on sleep than caffeine.
  • Theobromine is less addictive than caffeine, due to differences in adenosine receptor activity.
